Philippians 2:12
Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,


You no longer work FOR your salvation, but to work OUT.
Just like how one does his daily work out to build his muscles and body, so shall you WORK OUT to build up your spiritual life in God, which has given you through grace.
Just as faith without works is dead

James 2:14-26
14What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

15If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

16And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

17Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

23And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

24Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

25Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

If you claim you have received Christ and has salvation, then by all means work it out and be the salt and light to the world.
Doing evil deeds would only GRIEVE the Holy Spirit and nailing Christ back to the cross all over again!


The empty cross and the empty tomb symbolize victory over sin and death.

Cross is not a sign of Jesus
Its a sign of victory. Man shall no longer by bound to the slavery of sin and death.
Its a symbolic gesture of such victory

Read back at the bible. Do not prostrate to idols
Going to pubs is still fine, but do draw the line between drinking and getting drunk. To some, its best not to go since they do not wish to be tempted into being drunk nor engulfed in too much smoke. Which is fine too. You do not go to hell just for this.

Eating food offered to idols has nothing to do with strong or little faith.
It NEVER leads you to sin. What goes in goes out.
What does lead you to sin is your heart's intent. (and of course, consuming food dangerous to your health)

Wat about on her song?

That church is greatly misguided.

No one prays to the cross. But its made in reference to God's victory over sin and death through the cross.

Christmas on Dec25th is nothing really on Jesus' birth, but rather as an evangelical means to commemorate Jesus' birth and use this to evangelize/Preach the gospel to the masses, as it was originally done to the Pagans, who were celebrating their winter solstice festivals on Dec 25th. I reckon the church you speak of has very little evangelism events too. Perhaps singing hymns without music. lol

Their views are irrelevant since they deny Jesus as the messiah, and are hopelessly waiting for one to come. They do not accept the Messiah as the Servant King.
Throughout their history, the Jews have been known to be leading their own self astray. Even after Mose leading them out of Egypt and witnessing first hand the miracles of God, they still build themselves a golden bull to prostrate after. cis!

Woke up at 4am due to the thunderstorm

People like to argue over everything. Some as a means of digging out facts, some just for the sake of arguing, while others are just being extremists.
Those of little faith who may doubt abt the whole food-for-idols fiasco might be stumbled, but if they were made aware of such deeds, then its ok to consume. After all, idols do not mean anything significant to us. God in us is stronger.

There are also many other churches that are of questionable practices, cultic etc too. Some are too extremist while some are too lenient etc. Always fall back to what Jesus teach us.

Anything that you do that does not glorify God, should be refrained as much as possible. If blind indulgence (ie gluttony) is what it is, then its a sin too!
Drinking wine, if its for health purposes or just light leisure, then its not sinful. But to drink to the point and intent to get INTOXICATED and DRUNK, thus making your conduct and behavior being ungoldly, then it is a SIN because your drunkeness cannot glorify God...and you might end up doing silly things. So if you cannot control, then its best to PREEEMPT.

Millions of people have commited suicide globally for many years. Millions cant be wrong. Heck, suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. So why dont you try it?
As mention, Jesus is the ONLY way to God. He is the truth the life and the way. NO ONE ELSE and NO OTHER WAY but through Christ.

Quite a fallacy

Belief in a religion does not equate to fear of meaningless life, nor the disbelief mean one's life is meaningless. If this is true, then you concur your godless life is meaningless?

Nope, its not.

ROFLMAO!

a skeptisim to atheism is appropriate.

there there, sayang. no need to be upset.

we go make some gay love. come sayang

friday nite for me is either cell group, or drink beer/teh tarik until laaatttee at night. free to join hehehe

that aint a bad thing. Mental retardation means u have no perception of suffering or desire, detachment of earthly things that lead to more sufferings, like how you would keep waking up early to jam like shit and then work like shit and come back sleep, and do this everyday for the next few decades. While being a retard, you get treated like a king.

Tell me, what does the Bible tells you on this? What have your research yielded to you?

Its like doing homework.

do you ask for all the answers before picking and choosing one to write it as your own?
OR

do you do your own research too, and then comparing it with others, so that you and the rest can offer good discussions and help edify each other instead of just being passive and listening and listening and none of us here know what is it thats in your mind?

Whaty about the parable of the Rich man (in hades ) and Lazarus (in heaven?)

You are suggesting a limbo called purgatory, which isn't mentioned in the bible

Added! welcome!

Alleluya has elements of Allah in it

those who claim may 21st use numerology and are part of a small cultic apocalyptic group

those who claim ALL CHRISTIANS believe are trolls and idiots, particularly atheists

Wats the use of wings for the angels? Or are they a metaphor, or perhaps Jet pack wings that the writer mistook for bird wings..

do note that your winnings are gained from the losses of others.
Do you take pride and joy in gaining from the loss of others then?

The key point in lottery and 4D and those SMS contest is that it gives some hope for those who are clueless to make it big. (yes, SMS contest is still like a lottery, you spend money and win by chance from the demise of others)

Now supposing you do win big...in what way then does this lump of money glorifies God then? Your win is others' losses!

hahaha stupid question asked to a stupid host.

God is one with 3 roles, which God took being a Father to all humans, Christ the Son to set precedence to all of God's children as a role model and saviour, and the Holy Spirit, which is to guide the humans and giving spiritual gifts.

Only a muslim would confuse themselves with such questions of 3 gods or 1 god, and not even knowing that God can take 3 roles and manifest in them via omnipresence because God is omnipotent.
